Some observational studies suggest that people who have regular spiritual practices tend to live longer. Spirituality is an essential part of the “existential domain” measured in quality-of-life scores. Positive reports on those measures-a meaningful personal existence, fulfillment of life goals, and a feeling that life to that point had been worthwhile- correlated with a good quality of life for patients with advanced disease.

Spiritual commitment tends to enhance recovery from illness and surgery. For example, a study of heart transplant patients showed that those who participated in religious activities and said their beliefs were important complied better with follow-up treatment, had improved physical functioning at the 12-month follow-up visit, had higher levels of self-esteem, and had less anxiety and fewer health worries. In general, people who don't worry as much tend to have better health outcomes. Maybe spirituality enables people to worry less, to let go and live in the present moment.
